Description
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio all'Oro Banfi, the jewel in the family's crown, is produced from a single vineyard and only in great vintages when the quality of the rigorously selected grapes is excellent. A still red wine with a strong character and intense flavour, the Poggio all'Oro vineyard is located south of Montalcino, about 250 m above sea level, in hilly terrain, where the Sangiovese grape meets the perfect climate to grow luxuriantly.

Refinement
70% in 60 and 90 hl French oak barrels and 30% in 350 l French oak barriques for 3 years and 6 months

Sommelier Suggestion | We recommend pouring the wine into the decanter for a few hours to allow the wine to aerate to awaken all the aromas. This wine is one of the great Italian red wines particularly suitable for ageing. Remarkable already if drunk now, but we suggest to let it rest in the cellar to reach a full and harmonious maturity, with important aromatic evolutions. Ageing capacity of over 20 years. |
Tasting Notes | In the glass it has a very intense and deep colour, extremely complex, as is typical of Sangiovese. If you let it oxygenate for a few minutes, it leaves room for very sweet aromas of tobacco, liquorice and cocoa, ending with a slight hint of violet. In the mouth we find ripe and sweet tannins, well balanced with the acidity, very long in the mouth with great persistence. A great Brunello particularly elegant and with a complex personality. |
Pairing Advice | |
Pairing | An excellent companion to accompany an entire meal. First courses with suculent meat sauce, second courses of stewed meat, game and particularly fatty grilled meat, but also suitable to be enjoyed with mature cheese. |
